LA Imposes Toughest Lockdown Yet To Avoid “Devastating Tipping Point” As COVID Hospitalizations Soar
Nation and State ^ | 12/03/2020 | Tyler Durden

Echoing the situation back in March when California was the first state to issue a 'stay at home' order, the Mayor of Los Angeles late last night ordered Angelenos to stay home, warning that the city is approaching a "devastating tipping point" as the US and the state of California see unprecedented numbers of new cases, deaths and hospitalizations.

Last night the state of California reported more than 20k new COVID infections, the highest daily tally of any state. LA County has been particularly hard hit.

"Our City is now close to a devastating tipping point, beyond which the number of hospitalized patients would start to overwhelm our hospital system, in turn risking needless suffering and death," Mayor Eric Garcetti said late on Wednesday. "We must minimize contact with others as much as possible," he added.

COVID-19 Daily Update:
December 2, 2020
New Cases: 5,987 (414,185 to date)
New Deaths: 40 (7,740 to date)
Current Hospitalizations: 2,439 pic.twitter.com/wQBT0j5pFm — LA Public Health (@lapublichealth) December 3, 2020

The order, which supersedes another order from June, is without a doubt the most restrictive in effect in the US right now: it prohibits public and private gatherings of people from more than one household, and requires all businesses in the city that require people to work on location must stop operations. Walking, driving, travel on public transport, bikes, motorcycles and scooters are prohibited, except - of course - for all 'essential' activities.

There are several exemptions: faith-based outdoor services and programs for the homeless will continue. Supermarkets, grocery stores and health-care operations can also continue to operate. But gyms, retailers and pretty much every other in-person activity will now be legally prohibited in the City of Angels. The city’s safety protocols on social distancing follow those developed by Los Angeles County, Garcetti said. On the exercise front, activities such as golf, tennis and pickleball will still be permitted, according to the order.

Anyone over the age of 16 traveling into the city must complete an online form upon arrival acknowledging they’ve read, and understand, a California travel advisory.

Failure to fill out and submit the form is punishable by a fine of up to $500.

“Anyone over the age of 16 traveling into the city must complete an online form upon arrival acknowledging they’ve read, and understand, a California travel advisory.”

On Monday I drove to Farmer’s Market in LA and had lunch. If I did that today where am I supposed to get the form and fill it out? What off ramp do I take?

Notice how they never show us the overflowing hospital wards?

There’s a reason for that.

I’d like to see the documentation supporting the “hospitalizations are SOARING” thing.

IMHO, the only thing “soaring” would be the grossly inflated numbers of alleged “cases”. People aren’t listening to the fear-porn merchants any more, so they have to pump and pump and pump the numbers.

Does anyone else wonder if these intensified lockdowns are happening intentionally prior to events connected with the fraudulent election?

Think of how high CA could rise in respect if its citizens rose up and “took care” of their Democrat dictators.

And after “taking care” of the worthless turds, burn the remains, then flush them.

They do show them, but those aren't from Covid. Probably from a disaster like a tornado, earthquake or something else. The media is masterful at deception.

I work in hospitals and yes some facilities are at or above capacity with COVID cases. I would avoid hospitals right now.

We’re flying to CA. to visit our kids and grandkids for Christmas. We canceled our flight into LAX and switched it San Diego. My son lives in OC between the two cities. My daughter lives north of LA and we’re supposed to fly home from LAX...should be interesting.

We had a friend get injured and was in the hospital. I think one of the reasons they are over crowded is they are only have 1 person per room when it used to be 2 or 4. He was the only one in his room.

I work in hospitals as well and you are correct. We are seeing a surge. But don’t tell that to this group lest you be considered a harlot and a part of the conspiracy to some how force vaccination and reduce libert

Shame on you. You are telling the truth.

Single room occupancy has been the standard for nearly a decade. This is not the reason hospitals are overrun
